Motorcycle Airbag Vest Turtle 2 by Helite

Turtle technology consists of adding a high quality rigid back protector (SAS-TEC level 2) like a turtle shell to the jacket or vest. This technology offers a remarkable improvement in protection, with superior energy absorption and effective impact distribution.

A high quality back protector is placed over the airbag as a rigid outer material like a turtle shell to protect the entire back in the event of a fall. The composition of the TURTLE airbag system can be compared to the composition of a helmet: there is a rigid outer material (protector) and a softer material (airbag) that absorbs the shock. Thanks to the large protector, the back is now completely covered. Turtle Airbag technology allows forces to be distributed over the entire surface of the airbag and not just at one point. By dissipating the force over a larger surface, the impact is clearly reduced.

The smaller the surface on which the forces act, the better the protection of the Turtle compared to a standard airbag. Tests by the CRITT Sport external laboratory have shown that in the event of an impact with an object 13 cm in diameter (rear-view mirror, pole, etc.) the force distribution is 10 times more effective than with a standard airbag.

The mechanical system detects falls and accidents when the person is thrown from the motorcycle. It includes a strap that allows the jacket to be attached to the motorcycle and a gas cartridge that will automatically inflate the airbag in the event of an accident.

✓ Tests conducted by CRITT (independent testing laboratory) have shown that the impact is 4 times better cushioned than with a traditional airbag. It distributes the impact forces over the entire surface of the airbag.

✓ Rigid protection provides additional protection by protecting a larger surface area of the back, better protection against sharp or pointed objects and reducing the risk of airbag abrasion.

✓ Mechanical system: ideal for motorcyclists looking for a reliable and easy-to-use airbag system (no battery, detection from 0 km/h). The mechanical system is ready to use, just hook the airbag cable to a fixed bar on the seat sub-chassis.

✓ The mechanical system detects falls and accidents when the person is thrown from the motorcycle or horse. It includes a strap that allows the jacket to be attached to the motorcycle and a gas cartridge that will automatically inflate the airbag in the event of an accident.

✓ Turtle CE approved airbag, effective in less than 0.1 seconds with 600D Cordura to effectively resist abrasion.

✓S AS-TEC CE2 CE certified, removable 1621-2 back protector.

✓ Reflective strips on the back for increased visibility at night.

✓3 D mesh textile interior for comfort, transparent underarm for freedom of movement.

✓So ft neoprene collar for maximum comfort.

✓ No special tools or technical expertise required for product installation.
